This is Carter-Vickers’ first time being called up to an international camp under head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who assumed the role in September 2024. The 27-year-old centre-back featured just twice for his country in 2024, mainly because a toe injury kept him out of action following the Copa America last summer.

Auston Trusty, 26, received a call-up from Pochettino in November 2024 but had minimal game time, featuring for only three minutes across the CONCACAF play-off two-legged affair against Jamaica.

Brendan Rodgers has favoured Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty as his central defensive duo for Celtic, as the team set their sights on a domestic Treble this season.
